Photosynthesis/ Respiration • Photosynthesis • 6CO2 + 6H2O+ sunlight+ green plant C6H12O6 + 6O2 + H2O • Carbon dioxide plus water plus sunlight and green plant yields sugar plus oxygen plus water • Cellular Respiration • C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O 6CO2+ 12H2O + 36 ATP • Sugar plus oxygen plus water yields carbon dioxide plus water plus ATP • Don’t worry about balancing the equations just know what happens on each side of the equation
